There is more to Mackinac Island than just spectacular natural beauty. The Richard & Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum offers visitors a glimpse of the art inspired by Mackinac through the centuries. The museum's diverse collection covers a range of art styles and expressions such as hand-beaded clothes made by Native American garments, 17th and 18th century Great Lakes maps, rare and unique decorative pieces from the heyday of the Victorian period and original photos of the island from the 19th and 20th century.

Among the most significant are the works of William H. Gardiner, such as his hand-tinted early-20th century photos. There are four collections that cover Native American Art, historic maps, photos and early 19th century views of the island. The Museum also organizes popular temporary exhibits, contemporary art shows and a kids' art studio.
